In Part II, Gamakichi has not just grown in size but in maturity as well. Gamakichi seems to have a considerably large amount of knowledge when it comes to human-toad combination techniques and [[natural energy]]. Also, he seems to be on better terms with his younger brother, [[Gamatatsu]], as shown by him no longer calling him an idiot.

When summoned during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Gamakichi is shown to have started smoking like his father.<ref>Chapter 633, pages 16-17</ref> With this, his personality has also become a lot more like his father's as well, as Naruto noted that along with his new size, he also gained an ego to match. At the same time, Gamakichi is shown to be very dutiful. As he realised time was almost up for his summoning, he was determined to give one final assist to Naruto.

Although he did not have his Part II début until much later in the manga, Gamakichi appeared sooner in the anime adaptation. Noticeably, Gamakichi was not yet as big as he would be in his manga debut, by which time he would be big enough for Naruto to stand on his head. In his anime debut, Gamakichi was easily big enough for Naruto to stand on his back.

Later, when [[Team Yamato]] found it impossible to break through [[Guren]]'s crystal barrier via conventional means, Naruto summoned Gamakichi and Gamatatsu to help. Gamakichi kept Gamatatsu focused by warning him that he wouldn't get any snacks if he didn't focus on the task at hand. This enables Gamatatsu to break through the barrier, after which they return to [[Mount Myōboku]]. To their annoyance, however, Naruto keeps summoning them again, both to combat [[Team Guren]] and the [[Three-Tails]]. While fighting the latter, Gamakichi pointed out that their Water Release technique would be ineffective against its own water-based abilities. Naruto lamented the fact that they had no [[Fire Release]] technique at their disposal to evaporate the beast's water, but Gamakichi pointed out that he could use fire release and together with him using the [[Fire Release: Flame Bullet]] technique, they were able to perform the [[Wind Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet]].

After sending Gamatatsu back briefly to Mount Myōboku to bring back a stomachful of toad oil, Naruto, Gamatatsu, and Gamakichi combined their techniques to create the [[Wind Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet]]. The resulting inferno drove through the Three-Tails' water attack and had the turtle demon fleeing under the lake's surface. Once the Three-Tails had been overcome, Gamakichi and Gamatatsu went back home.

When Naruto, Sakura, and [[Sasuke]] simultaneously used the [[Summoning Technique]], Gamakichi appeared alongside [[Aoda]] and [[Katsuyu]]. He showed a big improvement in size, looking a lot like [[Gamabunta]], with a cigarette in his mouth. Naruto was surprised that Gamabunta didn't appear. Gamakichi stated that his father was busy, and Naruto praised how Gamakichi got bigger. He then instructed Gamakichi to attack the original [[Ten-Tails]]. As Gamakichi leaped high into the air, using his tantō to destroy the attacks of the guards, Naruto readied his [[Wind Release: Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken]] to attack the Ten-Tails.

Gamakichi later made his way towards the barrier when [[Hashirama]] instructed Sasuke and Naruto to stop [[Obito]] who had [[Kamui|appeared]] atop the Ten-Tails. Stopping midway when [[Minato]] arrived before them and cut Obito down, Gamakichi arrived at the location in time for Naruto to retrieve Sasuke and Minato as Obito [[Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal|sealed]] the Ten-Tails into himself. When [[Tobirama]] and Hashairama launched a counter-attack against Obito after they themselves were attacked, Gamakaichi was teleported a safe distance by Minato where they looked on as Obito was bombarded by [[Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags|explosions]]. He was later ambushed by Obito who had attacked them from underground. Recovering from the attack, Gamakichi noted as he watched the events on the battlefield unfold, that they needed to be extra careful as one misstep could spell the end for them. He later looked on in shock as one of Obito's attacks prepared to expand in their vicinity, threatening to eradicate them all.

+

After Naruto and Sasuke second attack on Obito landed, he wondered aloud whether or not they had finally got him. His question, however, was answered by Obito emerging from the flames unscathed. While the team tried to readjust their strategy, Gamakichi attacked Obito with the [[Starch Syrup Gun]] technique and noted that the [[Summoning Technique]] would soon be dispelled and he wanted to try something before he went. This attack would later lead to the team discovering Obito's seeming vulnerability to senjutsu-enhanced attacks.

He is rather comedic, and has the mannerisms of a smart aleck. He is also often very condescending as well as light-hearted in most situations, preferring the levity of talk to the seriousness of battle.

Though much was not seen in terms of Gamakichi's appearance in the series during his childhood and adolescent stages, as an adult toad, Gamakichi has proved a formidable opponent and a reliable partner.
